This development will spoil the character and appearance of the Kings Road conservation area.
It will dominate and detract from the Italianate Station and the fine Victorian Terraces surrounding it.
It will interrupt the open views across Southwater Valley.
It will significantly increase population and traffic in Central St Leonards, which is already the most densely populated and deprived ward in East Sussex. Especially considering that approval has already been given for 27 new flats on corner of Chapel Park and Ellenslea Road behind the Station.
I would like the plan to state that a more appropriate number of units will be considered (fewer than 10 on such a small site), that the design and build must be of outstanding quality and that the building will not be more than 3 stories high or higher than the surrounding buildings / the station.
